The Most Irresistible Spicy Sausage Mushroom Lasagna Rolls

It is safe to say that lasagna is my favorite Italian dish. Okay, maybe it rides on par with pizza, but come on, lasagna is up there. Here’s the catch though — my wacky family never wants to eat Italian food, so my meetings with Italian are far in between, but when it happens … there is definitely love in the air. I savor every morsel and relish the moment to the point of having no conversation outside of my head. I am in deep with heavenly lasagna. Tonight was no exception to the rule … I made spicy sausage mushroom lasagna rolls, and was in complete bliss.

Ingredients for spicy sausage mushroom lasagna rolls:

1 – tablespoon butter

3 – cups mushrooms (1 1/2 cups sliced, and 1 1/2 cups minced)

1 – pound of ground sausage (I used jimmy dean- Italian)

2 – tablespoons olive oil

1 – onion (chopped into small cubes)

1 – tablespoon minced garlic

8 – basil leaves (chopped finely)

1/2 – teaspoon black pepper

2 – teaspoons chile pepper (the kind you put on pizza)

1 – teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning salt

1/2 – teaspoon sugar

3 – cups canned chopped tomatoes

14 – oz. tomato sauce

10 – lasagna noodles (cooked according to package)

10 – teaspoons ricotta cheese

70 – baby spinach leaves

1 – cup mozzarella cheese

1 – cup cheddar cheese

1/4 – cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a large frying pan over a medium flame add butter and allow it to melt.

Then add in 1 1/2 cups of sliced mushrooms and saute for 4 minutes.

Add in pork sausage and with a spatula break it up into little pieces while it cooks. Combine it into the mushrooms. Cook the sausage for about 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooked. Remove and set to the side.

In a medium pot over a medium flame add in olive oil and allow to get hot.
